TEMPERANCE II FINLAND.-lt is only
three years since the first temperance so
ciety was formed in Finland, and so rapid
iy has the cause progressed that already in
several towns the sale of sprtuous Il
qu0rs has been wholly discontinued. In
some districts the manufacture Of brandy
has been forbidden. In others it may be
sold at wholesale, but not at retail. The
number Of drink shops has been 80 re
duced that now there is only one for every
l70 inhabitants. No liquor Is allowed to
he sold at the markets, fairs, barracks. or
in the neighborhood of schools or church
es. These results, it is claimed, have been
attained not by the public meetings, or
blue ribbons, but simply by the moral pow
er of the associations.

HARVEY'S STEALINGS.

Third Auditor Williams Responsible for the
Way the Business Was Done.
Washington Special.
The attempt of the authorities at the Treasury
Department to make Oscar ]. Harvey, the horse
claims forger. out a Republican, and to saddle
his crimes upon the Republican methods of do
inc business in vogue in the Office, has led to
little investigation of the methods under which
Mr.. Harvey actually did work. It results in the
showing that Third Auditor Williams is entirely
responsible for the way in which business is
done in his Office Mr. Williams was Harveys
immediate SUPERIOR and he came here 1885
from Indiana to make name for himself by
form and judicious advertising The horse
had been practically abolished by the Republi
in 1879 by consolidation with the war
claims division. One of Mr.. Williams's first acts
was reestablish this bureau in June 1885.
After doing this Mr.. Williams. III his last
nual report. takos occasion to refer. with pleas
ure, to the work of this bureau. To show the
improved efficiency of his Office, Mr. Williams
prepared tables giving, among other things, the
increase in horse claims disposed of during the
year 1885, over those of 1885. According to Mr..
Wiliams's figures, there was an increased allow
ance of 1873 claims, amounting to S251,616,

of Harvey. Had there been reform. insti-
tuted in the Third Auditors Office, and had the
horse claims division not been re-created to
make place for another chief, Mr.. Harvey
would not have had the opportunity afforded

The Secretary of the Interior Makes a Ruling
Denying tho Application.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, July 29-The pension claim Of
VIM. Hedgspeth. late private in the Forty sec
ond Indiana Infantry, was denied to-day By Sec
rotary Lamar. The claim came before the
Secretary for final action appeal from the
decision of Commander Black, which was ad-
verse to the claimant. Hedgspeth was captured
in 1863 and confined in the prison at Anderson
Vile. After remaining in captivity Eve months
he enlisted in the confederate service. He did
this be said, to escape the horrors OF prison life
He enlisted with the intention of deserving at
the first favorable moment He carried out this
intention a few months later, and. rejoining his
regiment, served faithfully aud we'll until the
close of the war Some years ago Hedgspeth
applied for pension on the ground of disability
contracted while in the federal service. This
fact was fully sustained. and the pension was
about to be issued, when the claimants enlist
ment in the confederate service became known.
The law provides that who aided directly
or indirectly the enemies of the government in
the late war shall be permitted to draw a pen
sion Hedgspeths brief connection with the
Confederacy made him amenable to this law.
His motive, it is said. cannot be taken into
slderaton. Opinions by the dozen, some favor
able and others unfavorable, have been written

Tor Department. At last, after lapse of years,
it has reached the Secretary of the Interior for
final action. The papers in the case, which
very voluminous, include strong protest
against payment of the pension by Commits

NEWS FROM THE OLD WORLD.
Speculation as to Whether Jules Ferry Will
Accept General Boulanger's Challenge.

LONDON. July 20-General Bouangers chal-
lenge to NJ. Jules Ferry has created a great sem
sation in Paris, and is much talked of in London
The prevailing belief in both capitals is that NJ.
Ferry will refuse to fight the ground that it
would be against public policy for him to
engage in combat with an officer
peculiarly situated as is General
Boulanger. It is not easy to see however, how
he can take refuge behind this srecious plea.
NJ Ferry is himself discredited man, and the
circumstances of his retirement from the Office
of Prime Minister are i'm easurably less credit
able to him than the series of incidents which
led to the Punishment of General
Boulanger. NJ Ferry forced into retire
ment by his own act General Boulanger
driven from Office and subsequently from Paris
by the acts of who were jealous of his
growing popularity and consequent increasing
strength There does not seem to be any way
by which NJ. Ferry can avoid meeting with Gen.
Boulanger except through ample apology to
the man he has gratuitously insulted, a tacir
admission that he is coward M. Ferry went
long distance out of his way to insult General
Boulanger in his speech at Epinal, and even the
enemies of the latter recognize the justice of his
prompt demand for satisfaction

JUDGE WOODs,S CHARGE.

The last scene in the trial which came to a
close yesterday was the most impressive. We
refer to Judge Woods's charge to the jury.
Public interest in the trial did not flag from
the beginning but rather increased if any,
thing. The Importance of the case and the
extraordinary developments of the trial made
it event of absorbing interest. The daily
attendance in the courtroom was large but
necessarily limited to the capacity of the
room. The very full reports in the Journal
from day to day kept the public advised of
the progress of the trial, so that the interest
approached. 1t was felt that the Judges
charge would be the browning scene and
strongest feature of the trial. 1t was. At
the end of long trial like this, attended
with the usual incidents of protracted legal
controversy, with efforts of counsel to make
the best possible presentation of their side
of the case resulting in more or less con-
fusion of ideas on material points, the jury
and the public look to the judge to dispel
the clouds, brush away doubts, and bring the
case back to the solid moorings of the law and
the facts. Judge Woods did this. The prac-
tice of the federal courts gives different and
wider range to the Court in the matter of
charging a jury than the judge of State
court has. Judge Woods improved this to a
very full extent. The result was charge
memorable for its perfect fairness and tre-
mendous force in which all the facts in the
and the law bearing on them were taken
up in a comprehensive sweep, and grouped
together in a way which, while strictly judi
cial in tone, was almost dramatic in effect
Judge Woodss conduct of the trial through
out model of judicial fairness, firmness,
and decision, and his charge TO the jury fully
sustained his high character as an able, just,
and fearless judge.

A Lot of Old buildings Burned.

CINCINNATI July 29.-About half-past
this afternoon, fire broke out in old dairy
stable on the north side of Gest street. near
IA, let. This quarter was covered with old
dist.llery stable and little frame shanties, and
was known as "Sloptown." In the six acres
of ground covered by this village in the midst of
a city there were five brick buildings, one of
which was used as grocery. All the other
buildings were tenements dwellings one and
two stories high, and old. half dilapidated dis
tllerv stables. Nearly all the houses were
owned by their occupants. In the stables
seventy-dve or eighty cows,
owned by fifteen twenty per-
sons. The fire swept Sloptown completely
out of existence. aud at o'clock left nothing of
it but smoking ruins There a high wind
and water scarce, the fuel of the flames was
of the best, and it had been parched 10 finder by
the heat of the past few days The space burned
out extended from the G.. HI. & D. railroad to
the foot of the hill. and from Gest street, north
on both sides of State street. Twenty five build
ings inclusive of stables, were destroyed in that
area of six acres Fifty cows belonging to moro
than a dozen persons were burned NJ in the
stables. The total loss by this fire, which swept
over the greatest space ever wiped out by a fire
in Cincinnati, is not 100000. 1t turned
out that $50 people must find shelter tonight in
homes other than their own. There is scarcely
any insurance TO cover the loss.

City of Mexico Threatened by Water.

Cry OF MEXICO, July 29.-Grave fears are
felt here regarding the possible inundation or
the capital. There have been exceedingly heavy
rains for the last few days Last evening many
of the streets were submerged the sewers not
being able TO carry off the floods. The monu-
ment near the cathedral this morning showed
that lake Tezcuco is about five centimetres above
the Plaza level, and with very little rain the
lower parts of the city would inevitably be in
undated. To-day the shops in some sections
are being pumped out and streets are partially
flooded Lake Tezcuco. into which the drainage
of the city is supposed to fiow is filling up with
dirt and debris from the city, and 1t is impera-

the utmost expedition. Even partial inunda-
ton would damage the city to the extent of
millions of dollars. Two centuries ago an in
undation caused a loss of $40, GOO, 900.
